CCIDs

Change Control Identifiers (CCIDs) provide CA Endevor SCM users with an important project management tool. CCIDs can function as logical grouping mechanisms by which user-specified portions of the CA Endevor SCM inventory can be tagged, then viewed, tracked, and manipulated.

In addition to the CCID, you can also specify a comment for CA Endevor SCM actions. Consider using the comment as well as the CCID to provide additional information. For instance, the person who performs an action might use the COMMENT field to note the purpose of the action.

Users can specify CCIDs and/or comments when they request actions. You can decide whether or not to require CCIDs and/or comments for all action requests on a system-by-system basis.

You can specify a CCID and/or comment when you request any of these CA Endevor SCM actions: ADD, UPDATE, RETRIEVE, GENERATE, MOVE, TRANSFER, DELETE, and RESTORE. CA Endevor SCM updates the CCID and/or comment in up to six places with the CCID and/or comment specified in the action request. Whether a CCID and/or comment is updated depends on the effect the action has on the source and outputs managed by CA Endevor SCM.
